Not much notice but, I have just received this via email and thought some BFW'ers might be interesting in donating:
Having been horrified by the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower fire and inspired by those risking their lives to help others, angler Colin Culley decided he wanted to help. So he has offered his Edward Barder Merlin rod in order to raise money for the London Fire Relief Fund run by the British Red Cross Society.
The Merlin was handmade in split cane by world renowned rod builder Edward Barder and was originally owned by Jon Edy-Berry, author of books such as 'Beneath the Black Water' and 'A Can of Worms'. Jon used the rod to catch some cracking barbel up to 12lb 10oz. Colin has owned the rod for 6 or 7 years and despite using it sparingly, it has landed him several large Kennet chub.
The rod has a market value of around £2000, but it could be yours for a fraction of that price.
